[ubuntu] Problem with eSATA Icybox External HardDrive

http://ubuntuforums.org –
Dear Ubuntu people,
External Hard drive Case: ICY Box 1B-362 Series
Hard Disk model: ST31000333AS
Ubuntu Version: 9.10
Motherboard model: Asus P5Q3
Problem Description: When I plug the drive into the eSATA interface of my motherboard, Ubuntu does not recognize my drive as a new plug and play device. It is only recognized only if the drive is plugged during booting, as a regular internal drive. How can I make Ubuntu see my external drive as a plug and play device?

When I plug an eSATA cable into the external eSATA port that is attached to my motherboard (Fatal1ty Z68 Professional Gen3), the internal SATA drive that my root partition is on is seemingly disconnected (most all programs begin to crash immediately). If I attempt to boot into Ubuntu's recovery mode with the cable plugged in, it fails after trying to find the internal drive by UUID.
